Chapter 133 Lao Liu
It was already evening.
The already dim and unclear scenery around them became even more blurry and indistinct.
But Luo Qingchen recognized the person at a glance.
Actually, you don't even need to see her; just hearing her voice is enough to send chills down your spine. Who else could it be?
"Senior Sister."
Luo Qingchen turned around and bowed with her hands clasped in greeting.
Yuwen Rou was no longer wearing the thin gauze dress she wore at Chunqiu Tower, but instead a specially made extra-large black robe.
Although the black robe looked very loose, it could not hide the magnificent muscles bulging on her body.
His imposing physique, standing at a full two meters tall, coupled with his basin-sized face, thick red braid that reached his ankles, and his extraordinary aura, gave off an extremely strong sense of oppression.
Even though Luo Qingchen is now a disciple of the Strength Realm, she couldn't help but feel increased pressure as the other party approached.
Yuwen Rou approached him, looked down at him for a few moments, and said with a meaningful smile, "What a pity. If I had known that Junior Brother Luo was so capable, I wouldn't have let him leave for a mere five hundred taels of silver back in Chunqiu Tower."
Luo Qingchen cupped her hands and said, "Thank you for showing mercy that night, Senior Sister."
Yuwen Rou suddenly laughed, stretched out her thick, large hand, patted his shoulder, and said, "Let's not talk about the past. Junior Brother Luo, you are now the sixth disciple of my Black Phoenix Peak to reach the Strength Realm, ranking sixth. From now on, I will call you Sixth Brother."
"Sixth brother?"
Luo Qingchen's lips twitched slightly.
Yuwen Rou grinned and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to the training ground to meet the other senior brothers and sisters, they're all waiting to see you."
Luo Qingchen nodded and followed behind.
Yuwen Rou said, "Everyone has their own master to teach them, but I guess you're the only one who might not. So, as the senior sister, there are some things that only I can tell you."
Luo Qingchen respectfully replied, "Please enlighten me, Senior Sister."
Yuwen Rou smiled and said, "Now we are all direct disciples of the outer sect. Although you don't have a master, you are still considered a direct disciple in terms of status. According to the sect's rules, direct disciples are not allowed to kill each other anywhere except on the Life and Death Arena, including outside the sect. Of course, if you do it cleanly and the Enforcement Hall can't find any evidence, that's also acceptable."
"Also, you must not take the initiative to attack any junior brothers or sisters with lower cultivation levels; this is strictly prohibited."
"Otherwise, if you can kill someone with one punch, then inner disciples can also kill us with one punch. Wouldn't the entire sect be in chaos?"
""
"Junior Brother Luo, you just returned today, and your red name has just been removed, so the Enforcement Hall might turn a blind eye to you killing a few people now, but that won't work in the future. Unless there is an absolutely legitimate reason, and the Enforcement Hall can't find any loopholes, the punishment will be very severe."
Luo Qingchen asked, "Does insubordination count?"
Yuwen Rou glanced at him and said, "It depends on how the insubordination occurred. If someone just called you 'Junior Brother Luo,' killing them is definitely not an option. If they stole your medicine doll without knowing your identity beforehand, and now that they do, they immediately return it and apologize, then you still can't kill them. Of course, if the other party killed your medicine doll, or did something that threatened your life, or knowingly offended you despite knowing your identity, then it's permissible to kill them."
Luo Qingchen nodded.
In fact, he knew in his heart that although he said it that way, there were too many things that could be done.
Yuwen Rou continued, "The cultivation techniques and medicinal bath materials are all stored in your cave. Most of us disciples at the Strength Realm rarely go out; we mostly stay in the mountains, diligently cultivating. In reality, our current situation isn't much different from ordinary people; we all only live for a few decades. Only by breaking through to the Aperture Realm can we gain an extra fifty years of lifespan. Fifty years is equivalent to a lifetime for an ordinary person. Therefore, even if it's just to live fifty more years, we must still strive to cultivate."
Luo Qingchen asked, "How long does it typically take for a disciple at the Strength Realm to break through to the Aperture Realm?"
Yuwen Rou said, "Those who can cultivate to the final stage of Body Tempering are no ordinary people, but breaking through to the Aperture Opening stage is not easy. Most disciples need at least three years to break through to the Aperture Opening stage. Some disciples even need five, six, or ten years. Of course, there are also many disciples who fail to break through even when their lifespan is exhausted."
She paused, glanced at him again, and said, "I know you're a genius, but our sect has no shortage of geniuses. Our cultivation methods always require the use of blood, so the cultivation speed is inherently faster than other sects. However, even the most talented disciple needs to consume a lot of cultivation resources and time to advance from Body Tempering to the next major realm."
I once saw a disciple who broke through from the Strength Realm to the Acupoint Opening Realm in the shortest time, taking only one year and three months. He is now one of the most outstanding disciples in the inner sect, with limitless potential.
Luo Qingchen asked, "Senior Sister, how long has it been since you broke through to the Qi Refining Realm?"
Yuwen Rou sighed and said, "It's been three whole years."
He then laughed and said, "However, I have already cultivated to the peak of the Strength Realm. I only need one more opportunity to break through."
Then he added, "Your second senior brother, Cheng Xiaozu, has been stuck at this level for eight years. Your third senior brother, Wang Yu, has been at this level for five years. As for your fourth senior sister, Lin Yudie, and your fifth senior sister, Chen Weishuang, they have both been at this level for two years."

Luo Qingchen asked curiously, "Then why are you the senior sister?"
Yuwen Rou smiled and said, "Because I have good talent, when I was still in the Blood Exchange Realm, my master took a liking to me and accepted me as his personal disciple."
Also, my master is the peak master of Black Phoenix Peak.
Luo Qingchen said, "No wonder."
Yuwen Rou looked at him and said, "Junior Brother Luo, don't be sad if no one is willing to accept you as a personal disciple. Cultivation mostly depends on oneself. Having a master to guide you will indeed save you from many detours, but to break through to the Opening Aperture Realm, you still need your own talent and luck. Your cultivation talent goes without saying; you are absolutely a genius. The rest depends on luck. Many people have enough talent and cultivation resources, but they lack a little luck, and as a result, they hit a bottleneck and are stuck there, unable to break through for many years—"
The two walked and talked.
Soon, they arrived at a huge training ground.
The training ground here is almost twice the size of the training ground for the core disciples below.
All kinds of equipment and venues are available.
At that moment, four figures were eating and talking in the rest area.
When Yuwen Rou's enormous figure appeared, the four of them immediately stood up.
"Senior Sister is here."
"That guy next to him, that must be Junior Brother Luo who just attacked today, right?"
As they talked, the group came forward to greet them.
"Senior Sister."
All four of them greeted each other respectfully.
The fact that she is the direct disciple of the peak master, and that Yuwen Rou is at the peak of the Strength Realm, still carries a lot of intimidation.
Of course, her size is also very intimidating.
Let me introduce myself.
Yuwen Rou nodded to the four of them, then pointed to Luo Qingchen and said, "You all probably already know this. This is Luo Qingchen, Junior Brother Luo. You can call him Sixth Brother from now on. I think the title Sixth Brother suits him very well."
Then, pointing to one of the shorter, somewhat thin young men, he said, "Junior Brother Luo, this is your second senior brother, Cheng Xiaozu. His weapon of cultivation is an iron rod."
Luo Qingchen quickly cupped his hands and said, "Second Senior Brother."
Cheng Xiaozu seemed unsmiling, and nodded slightly in response: "Junior Brother Luo."
Yuwen Rou then pointed to a tall young man and said, "This is your third senior brother, Wang Yu, who is skilled with a spear."
He then pointed to two other women, one tall and one short, and said, "This is your fourth senior sister, Lin Yudie, who is skilled with a sword, and this is your fifth senior sister, Chen Weishuang, who is skilled with a whip."
Luo Qingchen greeted them all respectfully.
Wang Yu and the petite Lin Yudie were both very enthusiastic, with smiles on their faces.
Chen Weishuang looked somewhat aloof, but she returned the greeting politely.
After Yuwen Rou finished her introduction, she said, "Junior Brother Luo, I'm the only one here who uses a sword. If you want to spar with me in the future, hone your combat skills, or have any questions, you can come and find me."
Luo Qingchen said, "Thank you, Senior Sister."
Yuwen Rou glanced at the sky and said, "Alright, it's getting dark. Those of you who want to cultivate can continue cultivating here. Those who want to go back to their caves should hurry back; I still need to go to Chunqiu Tower to earn money."
After saying that, she quickly left.
Luo Qingchen really wanted to ask her why she insisted on going to a brothel to earn money.
Given her abilities and status, she should have plenty of ways to make money, right?
Wang Yu seemed to sense his confusion and explained in a low voice, "Besides having a younger brother, Senior Sister used to have a younger sister. However, I heard that Senior Sister's sister was sold to a brothel and tortured to death. From then on, Senior Sister hated brothels. It turns out that every time she went down the mountain to do a mission, she would go to a brothel to kill and skin people. After being punished by the Enforcement Hall a few times, she went to the Spring and Autumn Pavilion and extorted money from male disciples there every night."
Luo Qingchen suddenly recalled being blackmailed by that senior sister and asked curiously, "What if someone was willing to sleep with her?"
Wang Yu's lips twitched, and he whispered, "If someone really has the guts, Senior Sister will tie him to a chair and make him fight it out himself first, while keeping his eyes fixed on Senior Sister's big muscles the whole time."
Luo Qingchen: "————"
Wang Yu laughed and said, "Junior Brother Luo, you weren't planning to agree back then, were you?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yudie, who was standing next to him, burst out laughing.
Chen Weishuang seemed to be unable to hold back any longer, and the corners of her mouth twitched.
Luo Qingchen could only say, "I like men."
I guess that senior sister has already told them about this.
Lin Yudie chuckled again and said, "Junior Brother Luo, stop pretending! We all know you keep several concubines in Medicine Man Town."
Luo Qingchen wanted to explain, but felt it was unnecessary.
In this situation, any explanation would seem like a cover-up, and no one would believe it.
He secretly became wary.
It seems that Senior Sister Bai's concerns were not just casual remarks or unfounded worries.
It's estimated that most of the outer disciples probably think this way now.
"Alright, it's getting late, let's call it a day."
Wang Yu sheathed his spear, greeted the others, and left first.
The others also left one after another.
Luo Qingchen looked around the training ground again before returning the way she came.
As I walked, I kept thinking of solutions.
Explanation is definitely useless.
Now, the only option left is the one we thought of before: find one or a few female disciples up there to divert everyone's attention.
Otherwise, it will definitely implicate them.
Soon, they returned to their cave.
The new cave dwelling is larger than the previous one, and it has everything it needs.
The cultivation materials and magic stones were already placed on the table.
Meanwhile, there were two martial arts manuals placed next to it.
One book is "The Art of Controlling Strength," and the other is "The Heart Sutra of Strength."
He actually already had both of these cultivation techniques.
I've been in a tense environment for the past few days and haven't had a good night's sleep. Now, I can finally lie in bed and get a good night's rest.
He decided to get a good night's rest and continue his medicinal bath practice the next day.
Only by breaking through to the Tongqiao Realm as soon as possible can I see my sister sooner, and I can also increase my lifespan by fifty years.
After placing the hidden weapons, he lay down on the bed and quickly fell asleep.
The next day.
As he was preparing to start a fire to brew medicine at the stove, his fourth senior sister, Lin Yudie's, clear voice suddenly rang out from outside: "Junior Brother Luo, come out quickly!"
Luo Qingchen put down the firewood and went over to open the heavy cave door.
Lin Yudie, dressed in a pink dress, looked delicate and adorable. Upon seeing him emerge, she handed him a document, saying, "The punishment from the Enforcement Hall has been issued. Senior Sister asked me to bring it to you. Due to mission failure and violating the Brotherhood Pact, you are confined for six months. During this time, you cannot descend the mountain, cannot undertake missions, and can only visit the main peak and other outer peaks. You are even prohibited from going to Medicine Man Town."
Luo Qingchen took the document stamped with the seal of the Enforcement Hall, read it carefully, and nodded calmly, saying:
6
I see."
Lin Yudie smiled slightly, revealing two adorable dimples, and comforted him, "Junior Brother Luo, this kind of punishment isn't a bad thing. Not having to take on missions means not having to take risks. Half a year of confinement is just a blink of an eye for us cultivators."
Luo Qingchen said, "Indeed, thank you very much, Fourth Senior Sister."
Lin Yudie waved her hand and smiled, "Then I'll be going now. If you need anything, you can find me in Cave Number Four. If I'm not in the cave, I'm definitely in the training ground."
Luo Qingchen said, "Okay."
Lin Yudie smiled again, and like a pink butterfly, her skirt swayed as she skipped and hopped away.
Luo Qingchen glanced at the document in her hand again, preparing to return to her cave to continue brewing medicine.
After thinking for a moment, he closed the cave door and headed down the mountain.
He planned to go to the main peak to reserve some monster blood.
While you're at it, go to the general store and ask if they can forge some iron nails from black iron.
Half a year has indeed passed very quickly.
He now only has 150 points of gilded blood left in his body.
Six months of medicinal baths is definitely not enough.
However, he still had 41,000 taels of silver on him, which he could use to buy monster blood for cultivation.
Hopefully, my cultivation progress will be rapid in six months.
We soon arrived at the main peak.
He first went to the blood shop and ordered two bags of monster blood.
In order to allow each disciple to go down the mountain to kill demons and monsters, the Blood Shop can only sell a maximum of two bags of monster blood per disciple per month, and they need to pre-order.
If it weren't for this rule, he would definitely order several more bags and inhale them all when he got back.
If he really doesn't have enough in the future, he might consider buying some from other hunting teams privately.
Although the cost may be several times higher, it is necessary for cultivation.
As he was pondering this and walking towards the general store, a timid female voice suddenly came from the side path: "Senior Brother Luo—"
Luo Qingchen turned his head and saw a woman in a black dress with a graceful figure looking at him with a face full of surprise, but also a little timid.
It was Lian Hongpei, the female disciple from Hehuan Peak.
They escorted the monsters to Blood Eagle Gate together. That night, while they were setting up camp, he hid in her tent and almost lost his virginity to her.
The two had thus achieved physical intimacy.
That night, he warned her in advance to leave quickly, which saved her life.
When the two met again, they both naturally thought of what happened that night.
"Junior Sister Lian."
Seeing that she seemed hesitant to come closer, Luo Qingchen took the initiative to walk over to her.
Lian Hongpei's apprehension and timidity instantly turned into overwhelming gratitude, and she quickly greeted him, her face beaming with joy, "Senior Brother Luo, I was so happy to hear you were back yesterday. That day—thank you so much for reminding me that day, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to come back alive."
Luo Qingchen said, "Of all the people that day, only Junior Sister Lian spoke up for me. I should thank Junior Sister Lian."
Seeing that he had not forgotten or distanced himself from her, Lian Hongpei's fair and beautiful face immediately flushed with excitement, which, combined with her charming temperament honed by long-term practice of the Hehuan Technique, made her even more alluring.
She blinked her watery eyes and said, "Senior Brother Luo, I knew you would be alright."
Then she bit her lip and said shyly, "If Senior Brother Luo has some free time, you can visit our Hehuan Peak, and then—you can come and sit in my cave for a while, that would be fine too."
Luo Qingchen was about to politely decline when she suddenly remembered the previous rumors.
He hesitated for a moment.
He glanced again at her shy yet expectant, beautiful face and her watery eyes, and said, "I'll go to the general store first, and come find you later?"
Upon hearing this, Lian Hongpei's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly and happily, "Yes, yes, Senior Brother Luo, you go ahead and do your work. I'll wait for you here!"
Luo Qingchen nodded and turned to leave.
After taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped, turned to look at her, and asked, "By the way, do you have any corpse slaves in your cave?"
